Today I’m doing a little compare and contrast. The picture on the left was taken last summer, the morning after returning from a week of CIY. The picture on the right was taken of me this morning, the morning after returning from a week of CIY. It goes without saying that this trip, for me, was the most enjoyable trip I have ever taken as a youth leader.

The Artist’s Way – Week 5
aanna
I think that I have a skewed view of prayer. I usually imagine myself in the throne room of God, approaching Him in awe and fear. Once I have His attention, I try to guess what I might ask for that He would be pleased to grant me. Sometimes He answers my prayer, sometimes He doesn’t. Sometimes I wonder if what I prayed affected the outcome of my life at all. But the section in The Artist’s Way on synchronicity has really got me rethinking my concept of prayer.

Today I got a package in the mail with a beautiful wool jacket and a cool hippie headband in it, sent to me for no reason other than that the sender loves me. I’m adding this to my list.

I would say yes, yes, yes. God does work in these kinds of ways.
How awesome that you are recognizing them and giving Him the credit. -

It kind of reminds me of Christmas – if noone knows what you want or could use, you end up with stuff you don’t really want. On the other hand, if they know what you want/need, you end up with things you cherish. The Divine seems to work the same way…
